Much like the Russian bogeyman, the alt-right bogeyman is simply a means to cover for shallow thinking and lack of awareness regarding the American political consciousness. In addition, it is used as a pawn to push any number of disingenuous arguments that lack any basic logic. The truth has been covered up, cast off instead as &quot;Russian interference&quot; or &quot;Russian meddling&quot;. In the same way, traditional value apologies (secure borders, America-first focus, financial/military non-intervention in the rest of the world&#39;s affairs) and exposure of corrupt bureaucratic control can be dismissed motivated by the &quot;alt-right&quot; and their supposed conspiracy theories. Richard Spencer (who got no attention until the left gave it to him) and his infinitesimally small number of relevant followers somehow represent 90% of the people who elected a new president. Successfully boxing segments of people into some caricature is what fuels oppositional thinking these days. Actually making real arguments has become passe. The new normal is ranking positions on whether or not they are racist, sexist, or bigoted. Virtue-signaling along racial lines of &quot;equality&quot; is required to be heard.Daniel G.https://www.blogger.com/profile/01783570782830240073noreply@blogger.com
